Rebirth: A Woman with Frozen Hearts [English]

The 'Unique' Bai Hu

The silence and peace came back into the restaurant. Chu Hui An looked at Ming Yue anxiously, "Little Moon, you should leave this city with me. The Red Tiger was not just an ordinary gangster. They are cruel to their enemies."

"It's okay Uncle Chu, I can handle it." Ming Yue grabbed the old man's hand with both hands and gently grasped it, "You've been protecting me all this time, Allow me to protect you now." Ming Yue said sincerely.

　

"Ah this child.." Uncle Chu's eyes turned red, his tears like they were about to flow. This must have been a good karmic reward when he helped this child in the past. Fortunately, Small Moon was a child who paid the kindness with more kindness.

"Thank you, Little Moon." Uncle Chu said, his voice becoming hoarse.

Ming Yue shook her head, "Uncle can thank me later when I solve your problem. Now please tell me, how did the Red Tiger come here?"

"I owe it to the Red Tiger because of my ex-wife. You know my ex-wife ran off with another guy, right?" Uncle Chu asked and Ming Yue nodded.

“Well at that time, the woman took all my savings and left nothing but this restaurant deed. I was so confused and desperate that I finally ventured to borrow money using this restaurant deed. I managed to pay the installments so far but suddenly, the interest rate had doubled. I can't afford it anymore because you know a restaurant is a small restaurant." Uncle Chu said while sighing heavily.

"That's ridiculous!" Lin Shao exclaimed, clearly furious over the unfair treatment.

"That's how gangsters work, I guess .." Lin Zhao chimed.

But Ming Yue thought differently. There might be something wrong in the middle of all this and he intends to find out. "Don't worry Uncle Chu, I'll take care of it." Ming Yue said with a reassuring smile.

"But Little Moon.I don't want you to be in danger because of me." said Uncle with a frown, clutching his hand tightly. "I always thought of you as my daughter, if anything happened to you.."

Ming Yue remained smiling, "Don't worry, I won't be in any danger."

"Really! Miss will not be in danger because this mighty me will be by her side." A voice spoke and the four heads turned their gazes towards the source. The four heads gave different expressions as they looked at Bai Hu in a human form, with hands at the waist and still wearing ancient hanfu clothes!!

Lin Zhao bit his lower lip, trying to hold back the laughter that threatened to explode.

Lin Shao covered his face with his palm as he sighed and shook his head.

Ming Yue closed her eyes with an expression similar to that of Buddha, resigned to his inevitable destiny.

Uncle Chu looked at Bai Hu with his mouth curled down, lips opened and eyebrows raised.

　

Uncle Chu finally reacted. He moved his head slowly and pointed it at Ming Yue whose face showed an expression of enlightenment. It is like a Buddha!! "He's..." Uncle Chu paused for a moment as he tried to find the right words, "..Ms. mu..?"

Ming Yue sighed in dissatisfaction, as if the peace she found had been disturbed. He nodded without saying anything.

"..a-so.." Uncle Chu replied briefly but could not help but express his opinion of Bai Hu, "..What a 'unique' acquaintance you have."

Ming Yue lowered her head with a sigh before opening her eyes and looking at Bai Hu's proud face with helpless eyes. "Well, he is. um.. Unique." Ming Yue agreed, though,

Unique?

Perhaps the more appropriate word is 'The only one'..

“U.. Uncle Chu.. The one who stood proudly like an idiot there was Bai Hu. Uhh.. My follower.” said Ming Yue. He chose the word follower because Bai Hu would call him using 'Master' or 'Lady'. If he said they were friends, then Bai Hu would reject the idea. So 'Followers' is the right word to describe their relationship.

"Master! How can you say that about this great me?!" Bai Hu said with a frown, his face changed as he pouted.

"followers?" Uncle Chu's brows furrowed slightly, "Are you joining the gang now? is that why you dared to offend the Red Tiger? Little Moon, you're a good girl, why should you join a gang?"

Uncle Chu threw out a barrage of questions, he was like a loving father who felt his sweet daughter was walking the wrong path. This might look ridiculous to others, but to Ming Yue, it had instead made her frozen heart warm up. He was truly grateful to the sky. In his previous life, he had no one by his side but now, there were people who took care of him sincerely. First the Wu Family, now Uncle Chu was added to that circle. Ming Yue wanted to protect them.

Ming Yue chuckled softly and shook her head, "No. I'm not joining any gang, Uncle Chu. Uncle don't have to worry, I'm still a good girl." Ming Yue said with a reassuring tone.

"I call him my follower because he works under me. Let's just say he's some kind of protector of mine." Mingyu.

"so. Well, as long as you don't join the gang then Uncle's happy." Uncle Chu said as he patted Ming Yue on the head.

"But." added Uncle Chu while glancing at Bai Hu who was still sulking in the corner. He was sitting while putting his chin on his palm while facing the wall.

"It's better to tell your followers not to like the Kung Fu series too much."

Hearing that, Ming Yue, Lin Zhao and Lin Shao finally laughed out loud and it made Bai Hu even more pouty. Then, Ming Yue had to go to great lengths to persuade Bai Hu to go with her to buy some modern clothes.
